Fleas in Arizona test positive for the PLAGUE
[DailyMail] Fleas in two Arizona counties have tested positive for the plague, the same catastrophic Bubonic disease that killed millions, according to officials.
Navajo County Public Health officials confirmed on Friday that fleas in the region tested positive for the disease following similar reports from Coconino County Public Health Services District in Arizona.
Both are located in the northern part of the state.
'Navajo County Health Department is urging the public to take precautions to reduce their risk of exposure to this serious disease, which can be present in fleas, rodents, rabbits and predators that feed upon these animals,' the public health warning states.
